TOP STORY: United haven't given up on Bale

Although Wales national team manager Chris Coleman believes his star player Gareth Bale won't be leaving Real Madrid anytime soon, a story in the Sunday Express begs to differ. The outlet says that Manchester United haven't given up hope on bringing the 26-year-old to Old Trafford from the Bernabeu.

Petr Cech enjoyed the satisfaction of a Wembley victory over his former club as Arsenal saw off Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday to land the 2015-16 Community Shield.
